Summary
The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has reignited debates over the U.S. healthcare system, with Americans sharing stories of denial, delays, and exorbitant costs despite having insurance.
Many report fighting insurers for coverage of essential treatments, facing hidden costs, and taking drastic steps like career changes to secure health insurance.
Critics blame corporate greed for worsening access and affordability, while others note the system’s complexity discourages seeking care.
Though some find employer-provided plans satisfactory, the overall system is described as profit-driven and increasingly inaccessible, leaving many financially strained or avoiding medical help altogether.
You keep thinking maybe… maybe… conservatives who defend corporate healthcare to the death - sometimes literally so - would figure out that making it a public service like fire and police just makes sense and is not a threat to Freedom. How stupid would it be if the fire department refused to hose down your house without preapproval from an insurance company?
All your comment did was convince conservatives we need to privatize police and fire.
We might bring back pouring molten gold down the rich assholes throats, if the fire department did that again.
Edit: I’m aware that probably is just a legend and the Parthians probably killed Crassus in battle/ negotiations.
